Abstract

Virtualization in networks is becoming very popular, because it offers the possibility to address varying demands for network resources in a flexible and cost-efficient way. By combining network hardware, software and network functionalities into virtual topological network units, resources can be shared by providing the illusion of real network environments. While such virtual environments offer the security of an isolated network slice and the possibility for customized platforms to support innovative network technologies without the disruption of general network traffic, the processing of the virtual components introduces a certain amount of performance overhead that needs to be investigated. This paper describes experimental measurements conducted in the Future Internet platform NOVI in order to determine the impact of network virtualization on the IP performance metric One-Way Delay Variation (OWDV). The European-wide measurements are unique as they were set up in a directly comparable implementation over substrate and slice. It is shown that the average median one-way delay variation over a measurement link in a virtual slice compared to the physical substrate increased by at least a factor > 10 for the 75th percentile of all measured values and factors ≥ 20 for higher percentiles.
